billable time

Hello there, TMoore.

Yes, there’s an easier way to include your employee costs in the Estimates vs Actuals report without having to manually unapprove each time entry one by one to change them from unbilled to billable. You can use the Estimates vs Actuals by Project report to view employee costs, even if the time entries are not marked as billable.

Here's how: 

1. Go to All App and select Projects.
2. Select on Projects, then choose the project you want to track.
3. Click the Project Reports tab.
4. Scroll down and click View next to the Estimates vs Actuals by Project report.
5. Filter the dates you wish to view
6. Click on Customize tab, and go to Filters.
7. In the first drop-down menu, select Project Name followed by Equals, then choose the specific project name in the third drop-down.

Also, make sure your Labor Costing Method is set to Hourly Costs to ensure accurate reporting.

Regarding your second question, manually unapproving, editing, and re-approving time entries won’t interfere with payroll, as long as you do not change the hours worked and only adjust the Billable option. Doing this will ensure the entries appear in the Estimates vs Actuals report. This option is also a good alternative if you wish to view employee costs in this report.
